Senior MEMS Design and Simulation Engineer - MA, Wilmington, United States
$110,385 - $151,808 USD yearly
Originally posted 13 August 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves designing, simulating, and characterizing MEMS packages and devices from initial concept to productization. This position focuses on high-performance inertial gyroscopes, accelerometers, and IMUs within the Advanced MEMS Development group.
What you'll do
- Simulate and validate MEMS package stresses over different environmental stresses (solder effects, temperature, humidity, etc.).
- Develop and standardize package simulation flow across the MEMS portfolio.
- Innovate, design, and productize high-performance inertial gyroscopes, accelerometers, and IMUs.
- Characterize and evaluate fabricated MEMS devices at wafer and part level using wafer probe and characterization equipment.
- Simulate and design MEMS devices considering device performance across fab process, package, and assembly variations.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary development teams to transfer MEMS designs from initiation concept to production.
What you'll need
- Track record of MEMS innovations and/or successful MEMS product development.
- Hands-on experience with MEMS package simulations across different environmental stresses.
- Experience with material properties and their effects on MEMS performance over temperature and humidity.
- Hands-on experience with MEMS characterization and probe and test development.
- Strong analytical, simulation, and innovation skills for MEMS gyroscope design and co-design with ASIC, package, and IMU.
- Ability to develop SPICE models for circuit simulations, and analytical nonlinear coupling models through Simulink or Python.
- Strong understanding of MEMS error sources and ability to verify them with measurement in the lab using probe, bench characterization equipment, and GTS systems.
- Strong mathematical/analytical experience with the ability to develop closed-form expressions to describe electro-mechanical systems and transfer functions.
- Experience in Python, MATLAB, and LabVIEW.
- Experience with either Ansys, Comsol, or other FEA tools.
- Experience in linear and nonlinear control systems.
- Experience with MEMS process, package, and manufacturing technology.
- PhD in electrical/mechanical engineering, or a Master’s degree with at least 3+ years of work experience in the MEMS industry.
